There are just six players returning to the felt for the final table of the €100,000 Super High Roller at the 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour presented by Monte-Carlo Casino. All six players are guaranteed to walk away with a portion of the €4,074,840 prizepool with the winner taking home €1,385,430.
Leading the way when the action begins will be Adrian Mateos who accumulated a massive chip lead with 4,485,000 chips. Mateos had a spectacular Day 2 to this event, sending multiple players to the rail including bubble boy Orpen Kisacikoglu to end the proceedings. With already over $25 million in career tournament earnings, the Spanish poker pro will be looking to add another seven-figure pay day to his resume.
He will be joined by fellow high-stakes poker pros Marius Gierse (2,005,000), Laszlo Bujtas (1,105,000), Mikalai Vaskaboinikau (1,010,000), Mikita Badziakouski (660,000), and Norwegian businessman Kent Staahle (1,235,000). While the other four professionals at the table have plenty of high-stakes experience, Staahle is fairly new to the scene and will be looking to record his highest ever tournament score.
